Kentucky will face NC State: How to watch the Wildcats in the College World Series

Mark your calendars! We now know when the Kentucky Wildcats will play their first-ever game in Omaha, Nebraska, at the College World Series, which will feature four ACC teams and four SEC teams.

Kentucky will take on NC State on Saturday at 2 pm ET. The game will be televised on ESPN.

The College World Series, just like the Regionals and Super Regionals, is a double-elimination bracket. If Kentucky wins Saturday, they will take on the winner of Florida and Texas A&M Monday night at 7 pm ET on ESPN.

If Kentucky loses Saturday, they will take on the loser of Florida – Texas A&M at 3 pm ET on ESPN on Monday afternoon.

If the Wildcats win their first two games, they’ll play again Wednesday on ESPN at 7 pm ET. A loss in either of their first two games means they’d have to play Tuesday (7 pm on ESPN) to advance to Wednesday.

If necessary, there will be a winner-take-all game on Thursday, though the time and TV info are TBD on that one.

The College World Series consists of two four-team double-elimination brackets. The winners of those brackets will meet in the College World Series Finals, which is a best-of-three series.

Kentucky, NC State, Florida, and Texas A&M are in Bracket 2, while North Carolina, Virginia, Tennessee, and Florida State are in Bracket 1.
